- ובאונו שרה את אלהים implies that the passion of Rachel continues to make all movements of Ya’akov possible within עולם הזה despite the fact that the actual accomplishments are made through the minutia of Leah and family. This is the reason that he cries at meeting her, not because of some magic that enables him to perceive her particularly as not being buried with him, but because the nature of that kind of love and passion is always tragic, for it can never be truly held within the confines of this world, and only the good die young. Anyone who felt as he did would have suspected the same thing—and the fact is that anyone who has that level of love for the world recognizes immediately that he cannot take it with him, just as ר"א cried at the האי שופרא דבלי בעפרא of רב יוחנן.
The real שכר of the בני יוסף and of רחל is the יש שכר לפעולתך. Though the good die young and Frodo and רחב"ד and יוסף הצדיק end up having not for themselves, they nonetheless provide for בריאה itself and there is no greater שכר, for they are the true יושבים עם המלך במלאכתו and that is greater than עולם הבא itself for it is the יסוד of both עולמים. They cannot be measured in terms of the outsiders whose concern is for the שכר האי עלמא ועלמא דאתי—the very אהבה that implies that they do not even consider עולם הבא as the מורי ורבי רבינו משה זצללה"ה points out also means that the results of אהבה are their own reward! But that is only possible by definition in עולם הזה and is the ultimate Love and specifically love for woman that becomes the basis of all עבודה מאהבה which comes of the love of Yisrael, the בעיניו כימים אחדים באהבתו!
The problem was always Ya'akov's inability to integrate the גם רחל- גם רחל without its being a רחל מלאה so that he used Leah as a literal מלאה=מתוך לאה in the sense of כל החרישות שחרשתי and that itself was defined as שנואה בעיני המקום. Rachel attempts to address this by taking her צרה into the same bed so that it could fit both but Leah steadfastly refuses to acknowledge this and keeps claiming that Ya'akov is her husband that is being stolen by Rachel—a mad insistence.
The destruction caused by Leah’s demand that קחתך את אישי is what destroyed her children's ability to accept the primacy of Rachel as עיקר של בית, just as the willingness to be מזלזלת במשכב הצדיק that came of the challenge caused so much pain to Rachel and made her own children distant from the other בנים. But they nonetheless all provide the אחי אנכי מבקש and the חיבור both of ויגש and of the בית המקדש itself. The ruination of the דודאים in the הפיכת משכבת אביו of ראובן comes directly of her המעט קחתך את אישי.
The bracketing of the מלאכי א”י ומלאכי חו”ל are themselves the essence of the parasha’s achievement of וינשק, similar to the actual יום נשק where עולם הזה יוצא ועולם הבא נכנס. The entire issue is for that single kiss and passion to define the nature of עולם הבא though it can exist only within עולם הזה and cannot be “taken with me” it somehow becomes more than שני עולמות. It becomes the עזה כמות אהבה , Viktor Frankel’s survival of the camps. Perhaps the נשקו ב”ר that touches the end to the beginning of ב"ריאה.
